don’t Snapchat messages get automatically deleted?

Haven’t they already been caught deceiving users into thinking their deleted photos are actually gone?

Welcome to the modern corporate business models

So I can poison their model by uploading garbage images?

So they made garbage AI content, without any filtering for errors, and they fed that garbage to the new model, that turned out to produce more garbage. Incredible discovery!

Meaning you unpress it, and computer gets 2x faster?

Even if you had access to the capital, you’d most likely fail - because running a business is hard

For every Bill Gates or Bezos there are dozens if not hundreds who sunk the entire initial investment.

You hate survivors for some reason.

The child forced to harvest coffee

It’s fault of their governments

…note no skill required. Conversely, hustling won’t get you there.

You didn’t read that paper. From fast skimming I can clearly see that their simplified model didn’t check for impact of skill at all.

It says nothing about real world except there’s a wealth concentrating factor of being ahead. Other factors are ignored

LMAO, you think they pay inheritance?

I think they do.

Do you even realise how ridiculous that sounds?

It’s not ridiculous - they’re accumulating interest on that debt. The more interest the have to pay, the bigger taxable income in the end. It’s a great long term investemnt for the state

So you have a horrible legal system, and he’s great scapegoat to divert attention from fraud underneath? Am I missing something?

We don’t need useless piles of garbage like him.

You do want his money tho - hence the attempt of 75% tax rate. But you aren’t getting any of his income, he doesn’t pay his taxes in france anymore.

That is the thing that need to change, but how do you legislate that

Simple, when he dies, during the inheritance proceedings, all debts should be paid off from the sold assets, and the due income tax collected as if he sold these assets himself when he was alive, creating the taxable income.

not on the cost of others

It’s not on the cost of others, its a fair exchange. Both sides benefit

valuable goods … benefiting everyone

If other people are buying what you produce, in almost every case you produce something valuable, and a person who buys from you benefits.

There are exceptions - drugs, weapons, slot machines ect.

But basically everything you see around yourself that was made by man, was produced by a successful business, and bought by somone who needed it.

paying $0 income tax as an American

Let me guess - he borrows against his assets so it isn’t taxable income? That’s a pathology in the legal system. He should absolutely pay regular income tax on this. But regular income tax isn’t the same as proposed wealth tax

sounds quiet unusual to be honest

I think it’s the most common road to be a millionaire.

Microsoft - Bill Gates Amazon - Jeff Bezos Berkshire Hathaway - Warren Buffet CDProjekt - Adam Kiciński, Marcin Iwiński (They started from absolute nothing, bazar stand with bootleg software) TOYOTA - Akio Toyoda, branched out from family buisness in textile industry

Literally every single successful business made it’s founder a fortune

Usually by starting a company that produced valuable goods and services benefitting everyone and profiting off of it.

You can also gamble but thats by definition a losing game

Did Depardieu come back to France?

Why should he trust french government not to screw him over?

That news is 10 years old.

Yes, but it doesn’t invalitate it in any way.

If this wealth was legitimately earned by your parents? Yes it is fair. Supporting your children is your sacred right.

Gerard Depardieu became russian citizen when France introduced 75% tax on his income

And this is just one high profile example. Im sure there were a lot more like him

The question is: Why should I care?
